28 Ridiculously Cool Double Bun Hairstyles You Need To Try

Say goodbye to the half-up/half-down bun – double buns have officially taken over as the trendiest cool girl hairstyle of the season. It’s only fitting, considering how many other late 90’s/early 2000’s trends are considered stylish again. Double buns are also known as space buns, and they always make me think of my childhood obsession with the Spice Girls. They’re cute, fun, unique, and easy to do – and they’re also super versatile. As it turns out, there isn’t only one way to do space buns. You can have fun with the style by tweaking it to make it your own, and these ridiculously cool styles below are only a few examples.

Double buns are an adorable throwback, and the first time I noticed them gaining traction again was a few years ago when Gurl writer Ashley Reese started at the site as an intern. Ashley wore her hair in space buns all the time, and I was always jealous of the way she pulled them off when so many other people weren’t wearing them just yet. Flash forward a few years, and double buns are literally everywhere – but I still feel the need to point out that Ashley was wearing them before they were *Instagram cool.*

Anyway! Do something different with your hair than the same old bun, ponytail, or blowout. Check out these double bun hairstyles you absolutely need to try:
